This App Hides Your Distracting Facebook Feed When You Need It To

Facebook is a total productivity killer. Think of the countless hours you’ve spent scrolling through your customized Facebook feed of friends’ can’t-miss status updates, super shoppable ads (OMG, want it all) and all of Facebook’s Instant Articles you want to read ASAP. But when you have work to do, Facebook can be literally the worst. Thanks to this nifty new Chrome extension, however, it’s now possible to hide your feed — at least during the time you’ve dedicated to turning out great work.

Kill Newsfeedis an easy-to-add extension on your Chrome browser that will replace your full feed with a big message that simply reads: “Don’t get distracted by Facebook!” If you use Facebook for work purposes, you’ll appreciate that the app DOESN’T block access to messages, notifications or anything else. So, you’re free to carry on with business as usual. It’s that simple. Seriously. So do yourself a favor and install this brilliant invention now.

Time to get back to work!
